‘Big Band Bash’ at Tabard Theatre

MODERN SWING: Big bands are alive and well at Gus and Gabby's 'Big Band Bash.'

Too many unfairly associate the big band era with nonagenarians and all those risque, old timey dances. You know—the jitterbug, the Lindy Hop, the foxtrot. Horsefeathers! Big band music is alive and well, and anyone looking to really swing need look no further than Gus and Gabby’s Big Band Bash, which is sure to be the bee’s knees. Gus and Gabby are veterans of the South Bay jazz scene, and for this swanky soirée they’ve invited two of the best big bands in Silicon Valley: the 7th Street Big Band and Nineteen Jazz Orchestra.
